sieve auto-creation/subscription - Thunderbird cannot re-arrange folders
Hi guys.
In Thunderbird auto-subscribed folders - in my case a path with sub-folders - cannot be moved around, meaning top-bottom order. Parent folders Thunderbird shows in cursive and sub-folders (targets for sieve fules) are shown "normal" It seems impossible to re-arrange top/parent folders - but every other folder, top or not, which is not auto created & auto subscribed, Thunderbird can move around as expected. Anybody seen, anybody knows this and knows a way to "fix" it?
many thanks, L.

Which version of TB are you using? There is/was an add-on that allows rearranging folders, but this add-on has been integrated into TB as of version 139.0 already.

Disclaimer: I have no idea if auto-subscribed folders are handled differently, but I don't see why they would. I don't think that subscription status affects visual presentation (ie. folder ordering), but I could be wrong of course.

like I said "...every other folder, top or not, which is not auto created & auto subscribed, Thunderbird can move around as expected.." No need for an add-on, Thunderbird from some several releases back - this functionality has been built-in. Perhaps.. it's thunderbird-exclusive issue - will try some other client, only what(?)

Oops, sorry, seems like I have misinterpreted your problem description. 😇🤷♂️

a good news, well good somewhat, is that Evolution does not "suffer" from this issue. Could still something be "tweaked" at Dovecot's end... would be an easier way out.
